Stavanger is the fourth biggest city in Norway. It is situated on the southwest coast.
My aim is to try to capture something from every day, from the area nearby too, and when I am not at home I will still try to put up a photo from my archive.
Welcome back for another look.

Tonight I have spent 3 hours on a course held by NAF. (Norwegian Automobile Association)

"Girls Evening", a free course about cars, what to do, when to do it and how to do it.

A course for us , a group of nearly 20 women, all ages, and I guess with different number of years as car drivers. Wow, I think tonight gave us an idea about many things that we had not thought about before.

At "Sølvberget Galleri" in the Culturehouse, you can, from now and until mid April, walk through a very nice, strange and secret wood.

Antonio Rodrigues and Helle Damgård have created this area that is open to the public, and it is good fun with places to hide and explore. Sometimes dark as the night, and sometimes sunshine with real sounds from the woods. Many children from different schools have been visiting the place. I can't really take photos of the children without permission from their parents, so I was pleased to find 3 generations who said yes to being my models, Åse, Kristel and little Mille :)

"Chocho Boco" is a nice place for a bit to eat and drink. It is situated in the cinema area at the Culture House. You can even get alcohol served, but you can not take it in to the cinema area for public viewings. However, I have been invited a few times to private viewings of films at the Luxury and V.I.P screening rooms. Here there are plenty of snacks and drinks, and because these are "closed" private viewings, alcohol is allowed.

These days the politicians are busy discussing this, and today the local newspaper wrote an article about this.

This is the house for the French-Norwegian Culture Centre and the French consulate.I have a friend who has started in a French conversation class here.Probably a very good idea! (Most of us here in Norway use English before French, German or perhaps Spanish) .The center also has an exhibition area for art, together with a section for books, films and magazines for those who are interested.Some company employees (and their children) who are going to move to France attend private courses arranged through the center.
